The official lyric video for the song ‘Angels Fall’ from Breaking Benjamin can be seen below. The track is taken from the band’s new effort, “Dark Before Dawn”, which sold 141,000 copies in its first week of release to enter The Billboard 200 chart at position no. 1. The sales number is the best single-week sales mark of the band’s career, with 135,000 of those made for physical CDs.
Breaking Benjamin‘s previous album, 2009’s “Dear Agony”, entered at No. 4 with first-week sales of 134,000 copies. The outfit’s previous chart peak was No. 2 for 2006’s “Phobia”, although that disc sold less with 125,000 copies moved in the first seven days.
Burnley fired two earlier members in 2010 over a legal battle, while a third member departed in 2013.
Burnley also struggled with a mysterious illness during the band’s six-year hiatus, which he told The Pulse Of Radio might be the result of the excessive drinking he used to do. “I used to drink a lot, and I think it must have something to do with that because back in 2007, I stayed up drinking for three days straight — this is after already months and months of drinking heavily — and I woke up and I just felt really sick, like alcohol poisoned, and I was like, I should’ve probably gone to the hospital but I didn’t, and I went onstage and when I went onstage I almost collapsed from being just so sick. And basically that was 2007 and it hasn’t gone away.”
Burnley unveiled Breaking Benjamin 2.0 last year, with the lineup consisting of drummer Shaun Foist, bassist Aaron Bruch, former RED guitarist Jasen Rauch and ex-Adelitas Way guitarist Keith Wallen.
